Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: Mayfly

Photographed this tiny Mayfly on August 17th at the Reader Rock Garden. Dashing out to botanize the Ann and Sandy Cross Conservation Area today.

I was amazed that this photo of a tiny Mayfly came out, as it is zoomed and heavily cropped. Thanks, David, for having yet another insect on your hand and being patient while I took a few shots : ) I had no idea till I saw this image that Mayflies have such a neat pattern on their bodies and wings. This one was seen at Janel Butler's farm, west of Millarville (which is southwest of Calgary) on 16th May.
